sidebar

The sidebar appears to the left of the browser and contains three panes for selecting different types of media: the Libraries sidebar, the Photos, Videos, and Audio sidebar, and the Titles and Generators sidebar. When you select an item in a sidebar pane (such as an event containing clips, or a category of sound effects or 3D titles), the item’s contents are displayed in the browser. You can show or hide any of the sidebars.
